A charge q that moves between two points A and B, and has anelectric force acting on it ( and perhaps several other forces) haswork W done on it by the electric force. The electrostatic force isconservative and so we can define a change in electric potentialenergy, Delta U = -W. We defined electric field using the relationF^^\-> = q E^^\->, and in a similar way we define electricpotential commonly called voltage as
Delta V = V_B - V_A = -W/q=(Delta U)/q or equivalently q Delta V =q (V_B - V_A) = -W=Delta U

A ball has mass 3.0 µg and charge -6 nC moves from point A to pointB. It has the same speed at points A and B, and the work done bythe electric field during the move is -1.5 mJ.

(b) What is the change in voltage between points A and B? 2
(c) At which point does the ball have a higher electric potentialenergy?
(d) Which point has the higher voltage?
(e) Has the kinetic energy of the ball changed?

This problem introduces the concept of tension. The example is a rope, oriented vertically, that is being pulled from both ends. Let Fu and Fd (with u for up and d for down) represent the magnitude of the forces acting on the top and bottom of the rope, respectively. Assume that the rope is massless so that its weight is negligible compared with the tension. (This is not a ridiculous approximation-modern rope material such as Kevlar can carry tensions thousands of times greater than the weight of tens of meters of such rope.)

Consider the three sections of rope labeled a, b, and c in the figure.

  • At point 1, a downward force of magnitude Fad acts on section a.
  • At point 1, an upward force of magnitude Fbu acts on section b.
  • At point 1, the tension in the rope is T1.
  • At point 2, a downward force of magnitude Fbd acts on section b.
  • At point 2, an upward force of magnitude Fcu acts on section c.
  • At point 2, the tension in the rope is T2.

(A) What is the magnitude Fad of the downward force on section a?

(B) What is the magnitude Fbu of the upward force on section b?

(C) The magnitude of the upward force on c, Fcu, and the magnitude of the downward force on b, Fbd, are equal because of which of Newton's laws?

(D) The magnitude of the force Fbu is ______ Fbd.

(E) Now consider the forces on the ends of the rope. What is the relationship between the magnitudes of these two forces?

(a) Fu > Fd

(b) Fu = Fd

(c) Fu < Fd

(F) The ends of a massless rope are attached to two stationary objects (e.g., two trees or two cars) so that the rope makes a straight line. For this situation, which of the following statements are true?

(a) The tension in the rope is everywhere the same.

(b) The magnitudes of the forces exerted on the two objects by the rope are the same.

(c) The forces exerted on the two objects by the rope must be in opposite directions.

(d) The forces exerted on the two objects by the rope must be in the direction of the rope.

A rectangular loop of wire has dimensions of 0.500 m by 0.300 m. The loop is pivoted at the x-axis and lies in the XY plane as shown in Figure P28.34. A uniform magnetic field of magnitude 1.50 T is directed at an angle of 40.0° with respect to the y axis with field lines parallel to the yz plane. The loop carries a current of 0.900 A in the direction shown. (Ignore gravitation.) We wish to evaluate the torque on the current loop.

(a) What is the direction of the magnetic force exerted on wire segment ab?

(b) What is the direction of the torque associated with this force about an axis through the origin?

(e) Can the forces examined in parts (a) and (c) combine to cause the Loop to rotate around the x-axis?

(f) Can they affect the motion of the loop in any way? Explain.

(i) What is the torque on segment ad about an axis through the origin? O) From the point of view of Figure P28.34, once the loop is released from rest at the position shown, will it rotate clockwise or counterclockwise around the x-axis? (k) Compute the magnitude of the magnetic moment of the loop. (1) What is the angle between the magnetic moment vector and the magnetic field? (m) Compute the torque on the loop using the results to parts (k) and (1).
